The Other Side of the Wall

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this graphic novel, but it is exactly what it says it is. A son is telling us the story of his parents' life and emigration from East Germany. It is a simple story, but the pictures with it add a lot of emotional impact. It becomes more than just a story of people who lived in East Germany. It is a story of people struggling to find the place truth and freedom holds in their lives.
